Press Release

January 11, 2013 CARE REAFFIRMS THE FINANCIAL STRENGTH GRADING OF ABG SHIPYARD LTD Grading Assigned Grading Financial Strength Grading

Ratings1 Grade 4

Remarks Reaffirmed

Grading Rationale The grading continues to derive strength from the experienced management and the growing operations of ABG Shipyard Limited (ASL) backed by strong and diversified order book further providing revenue visibility and back-to-back arrangements for raw material sourcing. However, the grading continues to be constrained by on-going subdued shipping industry leading to postponement of deliveries of vessels, delays in the payments from the customers as well as receipt of shipyard subsidy resulting in high level of working capital utilization, consequent moderation of liquidity profile and deterioration in the financial leverage. Significant amount of corporate guarantees provided to the group companies and stiff competition from global players in the scenario of slowdown in the shipbuilding activity further constrain the rating. The ability of ASL to meet the delivery timelines for its order book, prudently manage its operating cycle and prune down financial leverage remains the key grading sensitivities. Company Profile ABG Shipyard Limited (ASL), with its facilities in Surat and Dahej, is engaged in construction and repair of various types of vessel and drilling rigs. As on October 30, 2012, the unexecuted orderbook of ASL stood at around Rs.9,000 crore. During FY12 (refers to the period April 1 to March 31), ASL posted a total income of Rs.2,431 crore and PAT of Rs.180 crore as against the total income of Rs.2,104 crore and PAT of Rs.189 crore during FY11. During H1FY13, the operating income of the company was Rs.1,213 crore and PAT was Rs.74 crore compared with Rs.1,108 crore and Rs.88 crore, respectively, in H1FY12.
